OUR VISION

Transifex was founded with the vision to change how products are launched to a global audience. Starting as a translation platform for the open source world, Transifex grew to be a leading worldwide localization platform for software products.

From engineers to engineers

Transifex was founded in 2009 after being incubated while founder and CEO Dimitris Glezos participated in Google’s Summer of Code. The company is, at its heart, both global and digital — with engineers on two continents and customers in over 30 countries representing over 17,000 projects with 170,000 users, localizing content in more than 150 languages.
